My second ps3 last longest it last 2 years for me then then got a red screen of death.
I was worry of getting a red ring of of death on my xbox 360 like lot of 360 uesrs had happened but I never got a rrod so that was good but ps3 didn't go so will for me. I going wait to the slim ps4 release.

You win some and you lose some. My first PS3 YLODed a couple years back, lost a lot that way. New one's doing okay, but I also almost never use it now that I'm mostly a handheld man. Can't wait for glorious remote play on PS4.

Oh man, remote play is so amazing, as long as you don't mind using the rear touch pad for some of the buttons. I almost exclusively use remote play for Dragon Age Inquisition lately. It's so great to be able to play while not monopolizing the tv!__________________Unrelenting Positivity!

My PS3 never had a single issue in the 5 years that I have had it, but my PS VITA crapped out a few times (permanent orange light) and I needed to do a force shutdown to get it going again. So far my worst luck has been with the X360. It just decided to stop reading discs one day.

These days I keep a towel over my PS3 (and other consoles) when it's turned off, so that it stays dust free.__________________ “Fortune favors the brave.”I am 5PB. Lyrica's biggest fan! (5PB. confirmed for Rebirth3, YEAH!!)

playstation consoles in general for me have been going in a pattern. I have had 1 ps1, 2 ps2s and 3 ps3s. I do have a ps4. too, hopefully I don't go through 4 ps4s lol__________________ FacebookYouTubeTwitter

THREE PS3s? Wow, I must of got lucky with mine. >_< I've personally not had a console 100% fail on me (even some old used ones I bought aka NES, SNES, etc.). They at least turn on. Think I'll wait more on the PS4 though...I waited a few years before getting a PS3 and didn't go for the slim either.__________________ “Fortune favors the brave.”I am 5PB. Lyrica's biggest fan!

my first ps3, I got for graduating high school. it was the 60GB fat model that was still backward compatible with ps1 and 2 games. it died by YLOD. my second one was refurbished from sony, I got it because mine dieded by YLOD. it lasted only 5 months when the video output chip fried. my third ps3 I got from 2011 income tax return and is the slim 120GB model and is still working to this day.__________________ FacebookYouTubeTwitter

My first PS3 was a phat that I got second hand about 5 years ago, which needed lots of hairdryer and refrigerator love to keep working. Finally had enough when it was dying pretty much every time I tried to turn it on so got a slim, had no issues with that for the last 3 or so years.

I only ever had one PS1, which for most of its life span had to be kept on the side due to the laser coming out of alignment issue, and I still have my working launch PS2. Which kind of amuses me since I've read interviews with a japanese dev who hated the PS2 due to its flawed design. (They were of the opinion that the reason PS2 sold so well was that people kept on having to replace them all the time!)

Now Xboxes... both the original with the power supply issue, and the RRoD with the 360 are not my friend.
